It Will Happen on a Tuesday Most Likely

Gay you knew gay poem overcast poem

but this rubber ball

like a chivalrously
incoherent lover

and his inspired translations

thrown into your life,

throws you into what,
some Fellini-Lite movie?

Forewarned is forewrecked.

Now begin the "amulet buying years."

Ask the D.O.T.
to put "fugue state"
on your driver's license.

Wear an "UNRELIABLE NARRATOR"
Medic-Alert bracelet.

You don't want your partner's
first clue to be the fact

that you sold the cemetery plot

on the right side of him

to a terminally-aggrieved lesbian

who fought in two wars

but sleeps alone. Tacky

ships sink fastest.

Tuck that ticking under

your ridiculous tongue!

They choose most wisely

who choose not at all.
